Or You

A love so deep But distant, Enough to keep the common man away... As well as your daughter Your need for love so strong Yet not, Content to dwell in the shadows controlling everything in the light where the others live A puppet master hiding in the rafters Wooden dolls, covered in cloth and painted-on makeup, do your bidding Audience reacting to them... Or you? A complicated soul Fisherman of sorts Reel in... Cast out... Reel in Does this dance ever end? What damage is done? What price is paid? Who loses the most? Us? Or You?
